Dormy Inn EXPRESS Meguro Aobadai
ドーミーインEXPRESS目黒青葉台
Does Dormy Inn EXPRESS Meguro Aobadai allow tattoos? Yes, covered
Tattoos are allowed if up to two cover seals hide them completely, the largest 11.8 cm × 17.2 cm (4.6 × 6.8 in). The bath is small and shared by rotation, and there's a private hinoki cypress tub you can book.
The hotel's own FAQ says seals are provided “depending on the facility” and that stock is limited, so bring your own of the right size.

The bath
A compact bath rather than a big one, and shared by rotation. It's men's and women's in turn every day, in time slots the hotel posts (women's ran 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the schedule posted in September 2026), so check the board before you go down. Even at this size there's a two-tier dry sauna and a chilled cold bath, with a seat in the tub to rest on. The walls carry three of Hiroshige's Meguro views: Moto-Fuji, Chiyogaike and the Taiko bridge at sunset. Not a spring, whatever the booking sites call it. There's also a private hinoki bath that can be reserved from 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. in 40-minute slots. The sauna is off between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.
The hotel
48 rooms, singles, doubles, twins, triples and two kings. Check-in is 3 p.m. and checkout is 11 a.m., with the chain's buffet breakfast.
Good to know
- Free cup noodles at night, and an ice pop after the bath.

A chain rule, with the largest seals of any chain, when they are in stock
Dormy Inn states this rule in the same words on every hotel’s own FAQ page. The whole picture on Dormy Inn, and every Dormy Inn listing on this site →

How we know
Confirmed from official site (the property's own FAQ page; group-wide answer)
Booking.com titles this hotel "Hot Spring." The hotel's own bath page makes no such claim and describes a plain bath, so that's what is written here.
Best for: travelers who'd rather sleep on a quiet street above Nakameguro than in Shibuya
The bath is shared by rotation in daily time slots. A woman arriving late in the evening may find it on the men's turn.
